[3366] 498 - (1389) It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Al-Mûsâyyab that he heard Abû Hurairah say: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said of Al-Madinah: 'Its people will abandon it when it is the best it ever was, and it will be taken over by wild animals and birds.'"

498 - (1389) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَفْوَانَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لِلْمَدِينَةِ لَيَتْرُكَنَّهَا أَهْلُهَا عَلَى خَيْرِ مَا كَانَتْ مُذَلَّلَةً لِلْعَوَافِي» يَعْنِي السِّبَاعَ وَالطَّيْرَ، قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ: «أَبُو صَفْوَانَ هَذَا هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، يَتِيمُ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَشْرَ سِنِينَ كَانَ فِي حَجْرِهِ»
